True. It didn't really become standard straight away though. At least not how they are used today. But yes, 1997 was the first twin stick controller. 1999 Ape Escape the first game to require use of both sticks. (Although the right stick was only to select actions, not used analog)

Alien Resurrection (October 2000) was the first FPS to use dual analog sticks as we do today.

Anyway dual analog was transitional. The d-pad is now used for actions rather than movement.

Nope. 1989 for SEGA Mega Drive is the first Twin Stick analog controller.

Wrong as usual.
